Memes to Pizza Slices

Evan McDowell and Austin

Shaffer-Doan
Introduction
We interviewed people to see how many memes they
viewed per day and how many slices of Big Daddy
pizza they can eat. If someone views more memes per
day, then they will eat more slices of Big Daddy pizza in
one sitting with a positive correlation with a strength of
r=0.331 which is a moderate correlation. We did a sample
survey, which means we interviewed a sample of the
population.
Data Set
Population is the entire group of people or things being
studied. Our population is all people. Sample is the part of
the population from which we actually collected data. Our
sample was 25 people within the DAHS. Variable is any
characteristic of an individual. Our explanatory value is
the number of memes viewed daily and our response
value is the number of Big Daddy pizza slices eaten in one
sitting. We felt that having memes as the explanatory,
response would correspond well with the pizza slices
consumed as our response.

r and r2
Correlation defines the direction and strength of a straight
line relationship. Our correlation is r=0.461 which is a
positive, moderate correlation. That means as memes
viewed increases, then pizza slices eaten increases. Because
it has a moderate it makes the data some what valid.
Coefficient of determination is the variation in the values of y
that is explained by the least squares regression line of y
on x. Our r2=0.212, which means that it has a 21.2% variation
which means that the data is not valid.
Prediction
A least square regression line is a line that makes the sum of the
squares of the vertical distances as small as possible.
y=0.077x+7.576
y=0.077*12+7.576
y=0.924+7.576
y=8.5
r=.461. The variation of the our data was 0.212 which is an 21.2%
variation which means that our prediction is not valid because the
number is too small.
Lurking Variable
A lurking variable that has an important effect on the
relationship among variables, but is not one of the
explanatory variables.
How much they like pizza? Is a common response
because it only affects the response.
How much time they spend on the internet? Is a
common response because it only affects the explanatory.
Conclusion
If someone views more memes per day, then they will
eat more slices of Big Daddy pizza in one sitting with a
positive correlation with a strength of r=0.461 which is a
moderate correlation. Our hypothesis is mostly correct,
our correlation is a positive 0.461. Our hypothesis and
our results show a moderate correlation in the positive
direction. Which is closely related to our prediction.
